Waco HC-130

[AndyMarden]

Does anyone know the identity of the ex USCG HC-130B fuselage which sits at Waco/TSTC please? It has been there since at least Oct99, and was still present in Sep06. There can\'t be many candidates.

Regards,

Andy Marden

It isn\'t here now. Unless they have it hidden off in a hanger I haven\'t been in, but I doubt it. They must have gotten rid of it right after you saw it in 2006. I got here in November 2006 and I haven\'t ever seen it.

1345

it was used by BAE in their proposal for AMP that Boeing won.

Bob, Thanks for the detailed updates. My info came from the excel spread sheet dated in 2007 and foggy memories. Nice to see the old hardware put to good use.

Our 1603 airframe was broken apart at Elizabeth City, NC. The 1601 and 1602 are still in storage (?). The plan was to use the 1603 cockpit for an in-house prototype for our own AMP.

Fond memories of the \"B\" model.
